Chelonistele sulphurea

This is related to Coelogyne . It blooms from a newly developing growth with a spike of spicy fragrant flowers that are 1" wide. The plant stands about 8" tall with a single lance-shaped leaf. It is native to W. Malaysia to The Philippines. The petals curl. I had the mother plant in bloom in Aug. This is a division of that plant, not sure if mother plant is also in bloom.
